Lacazette and Kolasinac benched as Deulofeu absent

2,714 Comments

A number of Fantasy Premier League options have missed out on places in the starting line-ups of Watford vs Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m) has been named on the bench with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) leading the line on his own.

Alex Iwobi (£5.4m), Aaron Ramsey (£7.1m) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) are the attacking midfielders behind him.

Also among the substitutes for Arsenal is Sead Kolasinac (£5.0m), with Nacho Monreal (£5.4m) handed the left-back berth.

Making his first start of the season at centre-back is Konstantinos Mavropanos (£4.7m).

Whether he will be able to help the Gunners to a first Premier League clean sheet on the road in 2018/19 remains to be seen.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) might fancy his chances against the inexperienced defender, as he makes his 12th start in Watford’s last 13 league matches.

However, he is not joined by Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) in the side, the Spanish midfielder entirely as he deals with an ankle problem picked up in the FA Cup final.

Andre Gray (£5.9m) comes in first start since Gameweek 30.

Watford XI: Foster; Janmaat, Kabasele, Cathcart, Masina; Kiko Femenía, Capoue, Doucouré; Hughes; Deeney, Gray.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Mustafi, Koscielny, Mavropanos, Monreal; Torreira, Xhaka; Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Iwobi; Aubameyang.

    Lad in my work mini league; bench boosted.

    10 players = 6 points
    Captain Knockaert -2, Deeney -2, Ryan, Lindelof, Duffy all 0, Hazard, Aguero, King, Rice, Pereira - all 2 points.

    5 players 54 points

    !!! 60 with 2 to play.

    Is it crazy to do this Vardy+Rondon+Speroni -> Kun(C)+Ings+Guaita (-8). It would give me 15 players and can use BB ?

    I own Wilson and King dating back to BGW33. Plan was always to ditch King in 34 for Kane but his injury meant I kept him. Now got both going into a DGW but with a SGW vs Fulham at home.

    Would you keep both? Or take King out for Jimenez for a hit?

      With Ryan, Dunk and Duffy (c) I don't think I've ever craved a clean sheet as much in my life. Effectively 4 defenders in one team and will likely be with 25+ points if they keep Cardiff out.

      My season hangs on a team who just shipped 5 at home 72 hours earlier.

      Alli may also play, but I think it is Llorente who is more likely not to play. I did bring Moura in on wc, and believe that he will at least start one and play in both. But let us wait and see, we may get a clue.

    Who are thinking of captaining for the dgw? Im currently on Son, Aguero or Sterling.

    Also who do plan to TC in 36?

    Currently on Mane, but Son could be a fun punt

      I will captain Jimenez.

      I think that a home game against Huddersfield (Mane) is much better than a home game against West Ham (Son).

      Currently on Son for C, and TC Mane. Fun is fun, but I prefer points. Son may be game time risk.

        Son just might score vs City, but I cannot see brace there.
